There were originally seven major immortal cultivating families in Jianguo, but the Yuan family in Heiyun Mountain had been removed from the list because of the robbery and murder of Chen Mobai.
However, when Yuan Hongyuan did this, he naturally considered the possibility of failure, so the core members of the Yuan clan had long since fled outside the Shenmu Sect's sphere of influence, leaving only most of the cannon fodder behind.
These cannon fodder were previously escorted by the Shenmu Sect for mining, but now they were sent to the front line.
In addition to these large immortal cultivating families with foundation-building monks in charge, there are also a number of second- and third-rate small aristocratic families and sects in Jianguo.
The Shenmu Sect wants to destroy Shanshan Mountain this time, so it has gradually mobilized the power of the entire sect within its own sphere of influence.
He was quite polite to the big cultivating immortal family, but these small aristocratic families and small sects had no mercy, so they just divided the money among them.
The lower you are at the bottom, the less you can do.
The second batch of Shenmu Sect's monk army planned to send a thousand people to support. Among them, the sect recruited 500 disciples, and the remaining 500 needed to be mobilized from outside.
This part of the manpower is composed of casual cultivators, large and small aristocratic families, and small sects.
Among them, the casual cultivators recruited have completed their goals, and the small sects of the small aristocratic families have also been obedient and sent out their own outstanding disciples, hoping to make contributions in this battle between the two sects and redeem the resources of the Shenmu Sect, and even
Foundation Building Pill.
Only six major families, because their sect connections are sufficient and they have the means to obtain foundation-building pills from the major chambers of commerce, are reluctant to do this.
They only sent ten people symbolically to represent compliance with the edict of the Shenmu Sect.
After receiving the order from the head of the family, Chen Mobai did not hesitate and took Luo Yixuan to various major cities to talk to each family head.
Among them, the Guo family was backed by the Five Elements Sect. Although some of the monks in the family had already moved away, after Chen Mobai came to urge them, they lacked confidence and gritted their teeth and sent out ten more people.
Among them, an elder from the Guo family who was at the ninth level of qi training and whose time was running out personally led the team, which was considered to have given Chen Mobai and the Shenmu Sect enough face.
Chen Mobai is also very grateful for this.
The rest of the Yuhu Fu family, Tiankui Wang family, Qinghong Liang family, Xuefeng Bai family, and Huanbo Luo family seemed to have passed the Qi in advance. After Chen Mobai came to the door, they all agreed to send five more people.
"What the sect means is that the six of you families must come up with a total of hundreds. The second elder of the Guo family personally led a team of twenty monks. If each of your five families has fifteen people, they are still five short of a hundred. It is better for one family to come out again."
How about one?”
Chen Mobai called together the heads of the six major founding families and expressed his request with a calm face.
Although Chu Zuoshu did not impose any requirements, and even if there were a few people missing, he would not say anything, but Chen Mobai still wanted to do his best.
"Five Qi-training monks can't decide the outcome on the frontline battlefield."
Luo Jushan, the head of the Huanboluo family, spoke euphemistically, meaning that Chen Mobai could just turn a blind eye and that would be enough.
"Yes, Chen Zhenshou has a reputation far and wide. The opponents who lead the team this time will definitely retreat. These people we sent are just playing drums. It doesn't matter if there are more or less."
Wang Gongdao of the Wang family also said, and the rest of Fu Xiuzuo and others also agreed. They were polite to Chen Mobai, but they were reluctant to have one more person.
"In that case, in half a month, let the members of your major families gather at Jumuling. Then the heads of each of your families can contact Xuan'er."
After hearing this, Chen Mobai didn't say much, nodded calmly, and then left with Luo Yixuan.
"Master, these people are really ignorant. I just don't want to let them have one more person..."
On the way back, Luo Yixuan looked a little indignant, but Chen Mobai smiled and shook his head.
"Xuan'er, it's not that they are unwilling. You see, when I came here, didn't they immediately send five more monks? As they said, a monk with a low level of Qi training cannot determine the outcome on the battlefield.
, but the reason why they did this was just to show that they had some bargaining power on this matter, so they fought for this monk as a leeway."
The Shenmu Sect suppressed the Four Kingdoms. Although the six major families of the founding of the country also had foundation-building monks, they certainly did not dare to resist. Therefore, after the edict was issued, they all obediently sent out their family monks.
But they also wanted to show their differences from the small aristocratic families and small sects below, so they deliberately omitted one.
This is not only to show the influence of the other immortal cultivating forces in Jianguo, but also to show to the family members, to let them know that their family has the ability to negotiate even when facing the Shenmu Sect, and to cultivate the pride of the family monks.
Luo Yixuan finally understood the subtlety of this after listening to Chen Mobai's explanation.
"But they still didn't give you face, Master."
But after Luo Yixuan understood it, she was still a little angry.
"Wenbai's Xiaonanshan Shop can be opened all over Jianguo. They can be considered helpful, so I can't say much. And they at least gave me the face to reply to the boss, so they sent more manpower."
Chen Mobai heard his grandfather say since he was a child that the world is not so clear-cut, and some places and things need to be left with some room.
"Master, I understand."
Luo Yixuan was always a very clever person, and she understood immediately as soon as Chen Mobai said it.
However, I was thinking in my heart that if I have the opportunity in the future, I must take the place of Master and give these five companies a good beating.
After returning to Jumuling, Chen Mobai naturally went to the Shenmu Temple to find the leader to revive him.
"Well, thanks to your hard work, the second army of monks will be gathered in about a month. All the elders in the sect can be sent out. Can you see which ones are needed?"
As expected, Chu Zuoshu didn't care how many people were sent by the six major immortal cultivating families of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He took out a list and showed it to Chen Mobai.
The army of monks will definitely not send only Chen Mobai, a foundation-building elder, to suppress the formation. The Shenmu Sect is very determined this time, and nearly one-third of the sect's foundation-building monks will devote themselves to the frontline battlefield.
This was Chen Mobai's first time commanding an army as a general, and he was still a little excited.
However, his understanding of commanding an army of monks in combat far exceeds that of anyone here in the Eastern Wasteland.
Because Xianmen has a mature tactical system in this area.
Countless experience in opening up wars, coupled with various modern magical communication tools, allow the Immortal Sect to use its overall strength to crush the past in a war, even if its high-end combat power is at a disadvantage, thereby gaining the victory in the war.
victory.
"Are there any foundation-building monks from the Weapon Refining Department, the Talisman Making Department, the Formation Department, and the Puppet Department?"
Chen Mobai didn't know much about the foundation-building monks in the sect. Although there were people he knew like Mu Yuan, Yan Jinye, and Yu Lian, he couldn't bear to bring his good friends to the battlefield.
So I asked Chu Zuoshu to recommend some that I need.
Although he has not systematically learned about war in the Taoist Academy, he also knows about the wars of the Immortal Sect, and communication comes first.
Only by ensuring smooth communication between the upper and lower levels can the entire army be commanded like an arm and a finger, thus forming various battle formations and forming a forbidden area that even the Lianhe Dan monks dare not trespass.
Therefore, Chen Mobai's first thought was to make a simple communication phone to ensure that he could contact the monks and generals under his command at any time.
Among them, masters of puppets, weapon refining, and talisman making are needed to help with the hard work.
"These should meet your requirements."
The departments chosen by Chen Mobai, also known as the Puppet Department, were a bit strange, but Chu Zuoshu didn't pay attention and pointed to the four people on the list as he said.
Then Chu Zuoshu selected another four, including Chen Mobai, for a total of nine foundation-building monks.
Among them, Mu Yuan and Yu Lian were chosen by Chu as the Privy Council.
Meng Hong's injuries from the failed pill formation were almost healed. He didn't want this apprentice to stay by his side, so he kicked him out.
Mu Yuan had nothing to do, so he applied for training on the front line.
After Chu Zuoshu consulted Meng Hong for his opinion, he nodded in agreement.
As for Yu Lian, it was because he left a deep impression on Chu Zuoshu.
When Chen Mobai had just arrived at Shanshan Hall, Chu Zuoshu was not yet the leader. Through the incident involving Yu Lian, Chen Mobai was introduced as a direct lineage by Chu Zuoshu.
After Yulian built the foundation, he was sent to Guhunling to guard the mine for three years.
Chu Zuoshu wanted to completely incorporate him into the Shenmu Sect, so he asked Chen Mobai to come forward and take him to the frontline battlefield to see the blood. It would be best to kill more mountain-shaking monks, and he would be promoted in the future if he has merit.
There will be no gossip within the sect.
In addition to these two people, there are also two supervisors of the Good Reward Hall, Chen Zhenwu and Liang Lingzhen.
Among them, Chen Zhenwu is one of the rotating elders of Lingbao Pavilion. The last time Chen Mobai exchanged for Qingmusha, he was the receptionist.
And Liang Lingzhen was born into the Liang family, the founder of the People's Republic of China.
Both of them were colleagues who had followed Chu Zuoshu on the front line with Chen Mobai last time. They also had a tacit understanding with each other and were considered to be members of the same faction.
Chen Mobai can at least direct the movements of these people sent by Chu Zuoshu.
In a team, as long as half of the people are obedient, the rest will follow the crowd.
"How is the refining of Patriarch Fu's puppet going?"
After talking about the monk army, Chen Mobai asked Chu Zuoshu again about the Ziyang puppet.
If Fu Zongjue can master this, then the Shenmu Sect will have an absolute advantage in terms of high-level combat power.
"I don't know about this, but An Jinghui has been running around collecting various materials this year. He must be in intensive production."
An Jinghui, the head of the Puppet Department, was also a disciple of Fu Zongjue. He had obtained the true inheritance of puppetry from this ancestor. Chu Zuoshu, the head of the Puppetry Department, made a rough inference based on his whereabouts.
The two chatted for a while, and the foundation-building monks from the sect they selected arrived one by one.
Mu Yuan came first, followed by Chen Zhenwu and Liang Lingzhen. Yulian was still guarding the mine at Lone Soul Ridge. After the edict was issued, it would probably take a few days to return to Jumuling.
The remaining four people are Yuan Feihu from the Weapon Refining Department, Hong Lingqin from the Talisman Making Department, Zuo Hongqiu from the Formation Department, and Su Wanshi from the Puppet Department, all of whom were appointed according to Chen Mobai's requirements.
"That's the way it is. Although Junior Brother Chen is young, in the Eastern Wasteland, people are always judged by their cultivation. He will lead this expedition."
As the head of the clan, Chu Zuoshu spoke first to support Chen Mobai.
Among them, most of the people present were convinced of Chen Mobai. They all knew that he had broken through to the middle stage of foundation building two years ago and had become a peerless genius in sword evil. Both in terms of cultivation and combat power, he was
above them.
Here in Donghuang, whoever is stronger has the final say.
Except for Yuan Feihu and Hong Lingqin, who were dedicated to practicing hard, they usually practiced on their own spiritual mountain and were not good at socializing. Therefore, they expressed doubts about the young and excessive Chen Mobai.
"Junior Brother Chen, please say a few words."
After Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, he gave up the stage to Chen Mobai beside him. The latter nodded and took out a drawing from his storage bag.
This is the oldest model of mobile phone he modified in Xianmen. It uses a spherical magic weapon as the core of the relay satellite and can support about fifty mobile phones for real-time calls.
"This magical instrument is called the Bongtian Instrument. It is one of the gains I recently obtained in the secret realm of the sacred tree. Its function is to communicate within a certain range anytime and anywhere."
"The battle between sects is a collision between battle formations. The more monks there are, the more powerful the battle formations are. But the more people there are, the more complicated the communication becomes.
When it is communicated from top to bottom, there will be some biased understanding, which will hinder the operation of the battle formation and prevent the perfect display of power. In ancient times, the Immortality Sect was known as the largest religion because of this magical weapon called the Heavenly Instrument.
"
"The principle of this thing is very simple, but it requires the cooperation of masters of weapon refining, talisman making, and puppet making. The leader has chosen senior brothers and sisters, which shows his trust in you. I hope that I can make it in the shortest possible time.
Made within time.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Chen Mobai finished speaking, everyone present looked a little confused.
In the Tianhe Realm, the battle formations formed between the monks are extremely powerful, and they naturally know that, but they usually rely on long-term training and fellow practitioners to achieve the best.
In their view, this communication is only a minor issue.
After all, the battlefield is so big, and the communication speed of the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building monks is not slow.
Intensifying the training of casual cultivators and disciples from aristocratic families, and kneading them together is the key to a strong battle formation.
"Junior Brother Chen, what is the effective coverage area of this Tongtian Yi?"
On the contrary, Chu Zuoshu, as the leader, saw the bright future of this magical weapon. After listening to Chen Mobai's introduction, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"If the Tongtian instrument produced is fully effective, it should be able to generate signals for hundreds of miles around."
That is to say, it is equivalent to the scope of Shenmu City, covering the entire battlefield, which is more than enough.
"It's a pity. It would be great if it could cover the entire Giant Wood Ridge."
Chu Zuoshu shook his head regretfully. Since Jumuling occupies a vast area, and the disciples in the sect are also distributed in various spiritual places, if he wants to summon a foundation-building elder on weekdays, he will wait until the messenger talisman passes.
When I come back after receiving it, most of the day has passed.
Occasionally, if the elder is in retreat, the messenger talisman will get stuck at the door and will not come back, and no one knows how much time will be wasted.
If we have this Heaven-Bearing Instrument and give every foundation-building monk in the sect a mobile phone, then at least instantaneous communication will be possible.
If there is no reply, it means that you are in retreat, and Chu Zuoshu will not have to wait any longer.
"It would be enough to get more Bongtian instruments."
Chen Mobai made a suggestion that made Chu Zuoshu's eyes light up, but the latter did not know that Chen Mobai was also thinking about getting a satellite to hang over the East Wasteland in the future, striving to cover the entire Shenmu Sect's sphere of influence.
Connect in series to achieve real-time communication.
It's a pity that the satellite drawings on the Xianmen side are at least level four. Even if they can be downloaded, Chen Mobai can't understand them.
"Junior Brother Chen, please instruct them to get one first and let me see the effect."
Chu Zuoshu also became interested and personally called Luo Xueer, the master of Shanshan Hall, and prepared two copies of the materials needed to refine the Heavenly Instrument in the name of the sect.
This Heavenly Instrument is a relatively simple second-level magic weapon among the immortal sects. Although Chen Mobai is not a weapon refiner, he also knows its principles.
Although the foundation-building monks of Shenmu Sect did not know the principle, they knew how to work. Under the guidance of Chen Mobai, Yuan Feihu of the Weapon Refining Department refined pieces of metal into rectangular shells.
Chen Mobai also took out his own talisman pen and talisman paper and drew two sets of messenger talismans, the same seal talisman and the word-sound-transfer talisman.
The "message talisman" is the most commonly used messenger talisman in the Shenmu Sect and even the entire Eastern Wilderness. It is used to record written content.
"Tongyin Fu" is a kind of talisman that replicates texture imprints and was originally used to copy books.
The "character-to-sound-converting talisman" is a side talisman that can turn words into sounds, and sounds into words. It was originally created by a deaf and blind talisman maker and his wife to communicate with each other.
These three kinds of talismans can be used as the most basic functions of mobile phones.
Then Chen Mobai took out a few rectangular pieces of Qingyang spirit wood that could be held in one hand and made a very simple sound vibration writing puppet. Then he wrapped it in a metal shell and stuffed it with three drawings of his own.
Plant a talisman and use a simple mobile phone to complete it.
"Master, take this."
Chen Mobai gave one of the Qingyang Lingmu mobile phones to Chu Zuoshu. After the latter took it, he looked at the three buttons on it with confusion.
"I'll go outside the palace and wait until the blue button lights up. Master, just press it to connect..."
After Chen Mobai briefly introduced the answering function of his mobile phone, he landed outside the Shenmu Temple and even left far away. After confirming that his words would not be heard by the people in the temple, he started to dial.
The three talismans inside were activated instantly, and what he said was turned into text through the word-to-sound conversion talisman. Then the writing puppet began to write the text into the messenger talisman, and then the same seal talisman synchronized the text content to Chu Zuoshu's mobile phone.
above, and then go through the reverse steps there to convert those words into speech on the mobile phone.
Ever since, what Chen Mobai said rang on Qingyang Lingmu's cell phone.
Seeing this miraculous scene, everyone in the Shenmu Temple looked shocked.
With just three first-level talismans and a small puppet, it actually produced an effect similar to the third-level teleportation talisman!
The shadow teleportation talisman was the talisman that Chu Zuoshu reported to the two ancestors, causing them to appear as phantoms. It contains a ray of spiritual consciousness of the Danjie monks, which can only be possessed by direct descendants.
"Junior Brother Chen, quickly, give me another set of mobile phone talismans."
After Chen Mobai came back, Chu Zuoshu still couldn't put it down playing with his mobile phone. Unfortunately, after one call, the three talismans had turned into ashes, and he needed to insert three more talismans before he could call again.
For Chen Mobai, first-level talismans are as simple as writing.
He accomplished it in one go, and his smooth brushstrokes and techniques astonished Hong Lingqin, who was in charge of the talisman making department.
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Chen's attainments in making talismans are so exquisite."
Just by looking at the techniques among the talisman makers, you can roughly understand what level they are at. Hong Lingqin felt that she was inferior, and she finally understood why the leader chose this young man as the leader.
"The direct connection distance between mobile phones cannot exceed one kilometer, but if there is an extra Tongtian instrument as a relay, it can be extended to a radius of hundreds of miles."
After Chen Mobai explained it, Chu Zuoshu finally understood why he wanted to refine the Heavenly Instrument.
"Cooperate fully and strive to create a heavenly instrument before the second army of monks sets off."
Chu Zuoshu ordered Luo Xueer, who immediately nodded in agreement.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuan Feihu and Hong Lingqin, who were still a little doubtful about Chen Mobai, showed admiration after this incident.
The principle of operation of the Heavenly Instrument itself is very simple. After it is explained clearly, the three foundation-building monks can easily complete it even without Chen Mobai.
With the power of a sect operating at full strength, even moving mountains is easy. Three days later, the first Heaven-Bearing Instrument was built.
After Chen Mobai checked it, he put forward several suggestions for modification.
When the Weapon Refining Department was in full swing and began to reforge the second Heavenly Instrument, Yulian also returned to Jumuling.
"Meet Senior Brother Chen."
After Yulian came back, he first came to Chen Mobai.
"Well, the sect is about to have a decisive battle with Shanshan Mountain. You and I are going to the border battlefield as the second batch of supporting monks. You should be well prepared."
"Yes, senior brother!"
Yulian was also a man of few words. After hearing this, he nodded, asked about the departure time, and then disappeared into the courtyard.
Half a month passed quickly.
"Ming'er, just work hard at home and take Xuan'er out to make achievements as a teacher."
At the foot of Xiaonan Mountain, after Chen Mobai and his two apprentices finished sowing the last acre of land, he touched Zhuo Ming's head wearing a straw hat and said something.
"Master, I want to go with you next time."
Zhuo Ming suddenly took the initiative to challenge.
"Everyone has something they are good at. It would be a waste if you went to the battlefield."
Chen Mobai shook his head. He knew that since Zhuo Ming became his sect, she had never been on the battlefield because she was protected, and there were some slanderous rumors about her in the sect.
However, he believed that Zhuo Ming, who was farming in the rear, was far more useful than any of the sect's true disciples on the battlefield.
"Don't worry, senior sister, I will kill a few more monks and kill your share too."
Luo Yixuan on the other side said something that left Chen Mobai speechless.
"Gone."
Chixia Yunyanluo flew up with his master and apprentice. Zhuo Ming watched the two people leaving and secretly made up his mind to practice hard so that one day he could follow his master on the battlefield.
